So we need to combine the best of both time periods: the limitations of the pre-internet era that constrained a new business to move at a slow, steady pace with grit and the potential of the internet-era to make meaningful connections with all of the people who will benefit from the business’s offer.

Thanks for this. One of the blessings of the internet is that you get to “test fly” your ideas to see what works and what doesn’t. Before investing in a product you can know what people are interested in and what they want more of. This is something the internet provides which was hard to do before. Decades ago you had to spend hours and hours to push out a product, only to find out that no one wanted it. Now, you can drip a little here and there, see if it sticks, and if so, produce more!
